As China may see its sales of electrified cars surpass those of thermal models this year, a European country continues to break records in the electric car market. Norway has long been the most favorable country for electric vehicles, and in 2024, it set a new record, getting closer to its goal of 100% by 2025.
Nearly 90% of cars sold in Norway are electric
Although the Norwegian Road Federation states that "the goal has not been reached," no other country comes close to Norway's high proportion of electric cars. In 2024, Norway sold a total of 128,691 vehicles, including 114,409 electric vehicles, achieving an astonishing market share of 88.9%.
Norway has always been a reference in electric vehicles, with 96.4% of registrations in September represented by electric cars. The Norwegian Automobile Manufacturers Association expects a market share of 100% by 2025. The government offers benefits like VAT exemption for electric cars, while thermal vehicles will incur a new tax starting in April.
